Support Ishani’s Fight Against Kidney Failure

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Bishen, I never imagined I'd be writing something like this, but I’m raising funds for my partner, Ishani, the kindest, most humble, and deeply loving soul I’ve ever known.

She’s just 21 years old… and she’s fighting for her life.

Who Ishani Is

Ishani didn’t get the start in life she deserved. She grew up without the stability or love most of us take for granted, no consistent home. But she never let life harden her.

She remained soft. Gentle. Pure-hearted.

She treats everyone, human or animal, with sincere, personal love. My pug, Princess Leia, waits at the door after she leaves, not because the house is empty, but because Ishani isn’t there. That’s the kind of presence she has. Irreplaceable. Radiating warmth that touches everyone she meets.

She changed me. She taught me how to love more deeply, to be patient, present, and better in every way.

When we got together, I made her a promise:
That she’d never have to face life alone again.
That I would be her home.
That together we’d build a life filled with peace, love, and family.

What Happened

A few weeks ago, Ishani’s health began declining rapidly. She was constantly weak, short of breath, nauseous, and unable to eat. Multiple hospital visits led to devastating news:
  • Complete kidney failure in both kidneys
  • End-stage kidney disease (Stage 5) — confirmed by ultrasound and high creatinine levels (16.87 mg/dL)
  • Severely low GFR (2.77 mL/min)
  • Severe anemia and inflammation due to renal impairment
  • Heart complications including reduced LVEF (45–50%), mitral regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension, and elevated NT-proBNP levels (>84,000 pg/mL)
  • Emergency dialysis was started immediately 

She was admitted and began dialysis to stabilize her condition. She’s now back home, but the fight continues. She still needs:
  • Dialysis two times a week
  • Ongoing heart monitoring
  • Preparation for a kidney transplant
  • Frequent tests, scans, and specialist visits

What We Need

The medical costs have become overwhelming. We’re doing everything we can, but we’re falling short. We’re now facing expenses for:
  • Hospital bills and follow-up visits
  • 2x Dialysis sessions (weekly)
  • Medications and tests
  • Transplant evaluations and lab work
  • Donor tests and evaluations
  • Blood work, imaging, and specialist fees
  • Long-term post-op recovery
  • Weekly counselling sessions.

Why I’m Asking for Your Help

Ishani is more than a patient. She’s the girl I love. The one who survived a childhood of chaos and still chose kindness. She’s someone who gives love without limits, even when life gave her every reason to stop.

Now she’s fighting harder than ever. I’m doing everything I can to support her emotionally, physically, and financially… but I can’t do it alone.

If you’ve read this far, thank you. Truly.

Please, if you’re able, donate. No amount is too small. And if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser could help us reach someone who can.

Help me keep my promise.
Help Ishani live.

With all my love and gratitude,
Bishen
